an interview with Jennette Fulda, and a Chocolate & Vicodin giveaway!

I am so happy to share with you one of my very favorite internet people of all times: Jennette Fulda. Jennette is a blogger, author, web designer, weight-loss superstar, and headache-sufferer.

and she does it ALL at home, in her pajamas! 🙂

I first met Jennette through her writing on PastaQueen.com, and then heard her speak at the 2008 BlogHer conference, right after appearing on The Today Show, where she promoted her first memoir, Half-Assed.

Jennette’s story is fascinating and inspirational—pull up a couch, grab a cup of coffee, and enjoy! I’m a little embarrassed at how often I interrupt Jennette; that’s something I definitely need to work on!

InnerTalk—they have subliminal message CDs. (I guess they changed the name to MindMint.) I own a few, have used them to help boost the self-esteem of some of the children I’ve worked with in the past, and sent Jennette one to help “cure” her headache. I have no idea if they work or not, but figure they can’t hurt. 🙂

Jennette and her publisher generously agreed to giveaway a copy of her new book. Please leave a comment in the form below as your entry. A winner will be randomly selected on February 28th (that’s a Monday) at 9pm pacific, and will be notified by email. Good luck, and enjoy the interview!

I cannot imagine a headache that won’t go away. Or, maybe I really can imagine it because of dealing with migraines so frequently. I’ve got a lot to learn from Jennette about dealing with pain. Her book is definitely on my “must read” list.

How terrific to see Jennette “in person”! She’s been my web designer (aka “techie person”) for quite some time now and like you stated, she’s always there for me … ready to answer any “dumb question” (my words not hers) and solve any problem. 🙂 Jennette’s writing flows easily and is so funny, no matter what the topic, so I can’t wait to check out her new book. Thanks so much for interviewing Jennette, Steph!

I read Half-Assed and would love to read the new book. I am so sorry to hear about your headache. I do hope you have found a solution. I have periodic back and nerve pain and it really is awful sometimes.

I have read Jennette’s first book and followed her on her journey from her half-marathon to the headache that won’t go away. I look forward to reading her account of the last three years with her headache.
